Aegis Fund Ltd
Why Aegis?

Since its founding in 1991, the AEGIS GROUP has focused its attention on providing "global macro hedge" strategies that combine several important characteristics required for long term profitability. The AEGIS Hedge Fund team provides investment management, investment product development and ongoing research to keep current with developing global trends. Over the years, we have built a solid basis of trust, confidence, and expertise in areas focusing on investment research, back-testing and market analysis. Naturally, AEGIS also tries to stay current with its web based services to investors. AEGIS manages 3 funds with the overall aim of providing a sustainable positive performance and long term risk reduction, for both institutions and large private investors. All accounts managed by AEGIS adhere to this strategy but can also be adapted individually to the needs of the investor. Managed accounts are also available, upon request, for investors requiring additional customization.

With regard for performance, Aegis works on two levels. The first focuses on capital preservation. Assuming you invested in a fund that lost 50% of invested capital. You would then require a 100% return on investment just to recoup your initial investment. Experienced investors know that it can take years or, in the case of the Great Depression of the 1930s, decades to recover from a loss of this magnitude. Our primary focus is capital preservation. A cautious approach is not only the result of our overall conservative attitude towards investments, but also the logical consequence of the simple laws of mathematics. Aegis also recognizes the importance of taking sensible, intelligent risk, and locating above average opportunities for growing your portfolio. When we spot optimal periods for investing, our leverage can increase dramatically, offering attractive profits. Because investors maintain different expectations, AEGIS offers several share classes, some utilizing higher leverage, and offering a substantially greater risk:reward profile.

The single characteristic that unites all Fund Classes is our duration—that is, our time horizon for holding investments. In this category, Aegis is among the longest term managers in the hedge fund arena. We invest, rather than trade. We look for relations between markets, rather than “riding” a single winning position. We search for greater diversification, wider depth in the global markets, and strategies that take advantage of different markets, while using a unified logic. We also know when to cut our losses, to avoid a financial “meltdown.” Investing is an art, and as with artists, there are a handful of good ones, many imitators, but few that can stand the test of time… Aegis would like to think its research based approach gives it an edge that few traditional or alternative managers can hope to enjoy. Indeed, our testing never ceases, as each day appends to the previous base of history, bringing with it the possibility of a surprise or a “variation on a theme.” It is our commitment to research that separates Aegis from most Hedge Fund managers. We know our market history, and how important is the “art” of back-testing can be.
